Malaysian Water Quality Index (WQI)(ii). Malaysian National Water Quality Standards (MNWQS)(iii). Effluent discharge standards under Environmental Quality Act 1974,Regulation 2009.

Answer-b Malaysia is abundant in water resources and available throughout the year.

Today, water pollution has been highlighted to be the major environmental concern, driven by the rising industrial development, new emerging pollution release, and economical growth. Large quantities of contaminants which could not be effectively degraded by the natural processes have been discharged into the waterways, in overwhelming the self-purification capacity of the water system.

Analysis of dissolved sulfate concentration is based on the precipitation reaction of barium sulfate, creating Baso4 5) (named barite) and its settling. The following water quality is given: TDS = 650 mg/I, (SO) = 40 mg/l as S. Solubility constant of BaSO:: Kip (Baso.) = 1.1 1010 Determine how many mg of BaCl, should be added to 200 ml of a solution at the given quality for completely precipitating the sulfate. That is, calculate the dose required for 99.9% removal, while assuming saturation with respect to barite is immediately reached.

(a) A commercial 737 jet transporting 143 passengers and 5 crew members from Kansas City (MCI) to Baltimore (BWI) burned 11,800 lb (about 1700 gallons) of Jet A fuel en route. Jet A fuel is kerosine based, consisting primarily of CnH2n+2 hydrocarbons, with n =6 to 16, so the carbon:hydrogen ratio is close to 1:2. During this flight, how much CO2 was released into the atmosphere? Assume the combustion of the fuel was complete, so all the fuel was burned to form CO2 and H2O. Give both the mass of CO2 produced (in kg and in lbs) and the volume it would occupy at 298 K, 1 atm.(b) How much CO2 would be released into the atmosphere if those passengers and crew made the trip instead, in pairs, in hybrid cars at 40 miles per gallon. Assume the density of the gasoline is 0.75 kg L-1 and that carbon and hydrogen dominate the composition in a ratio of 1:2. The road trip is 1082 miles.

Regarding sewage quality parameters with regard to physical and chemical characteristics, mark V for True or F for False: ( ) Turbidity is caused by the abundance of suspended solids in the water, the fresher and more concentrated the sewage, the greater its turbidity. ( ) Phenols present in sewage are inorganic compounds derived from domestic effluents, and despite being organic matter, they do not cause any change in water quality. ( ) Sewage, both fresh and old, derived from both domestic and industrial activities, is always gray or black in color. ( ) Household effluents have a BOD of around 300 mg/L, which means that 1 liter of sewage consumes about 300 milligrams of oxygen in 7 days. ( ) Phosphorus is a component that can be present in sewage in both organic and inorganic form. In large quantities, the compound causes the exaggerated growth of algae in the medium, which can cause the death of local aquatic life, this phenomenon is called eutrophication.
